We are in the process of implementing a 5.2.2.0 TSM server running under zSeries Linux. We initially let the location of the accounting log default to the current directory for the dsmserv command. We are now trying to have the accounting log placed in /var/log. I added code to a copy of the supplied dsmserv.rc to set the DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR environment variable to /var/log. I stopped the server and restarted it using the modified script. The server continued to write accounting records to the old file in the server directory. I executed 'set accounting off' and 'set accounting on'. The server still wrote new accounting records to the old file. I obtained the server's process ID from /var/run/dsmserv.pid. I changed to the appropriate subdirectory of /proc and looked at the environ 'file'. The DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR variable was present and set to the expected value. What am I doing wrong?
Nothing...it's a defect. Do a search on DSMSERV_ACCOUNTING_DIR at www.ibm.com. May be fixed in 5.2.3 (check recent server Readme files).
